‘They Have A Hat!’ Trump Slaps Back At ‘Overconfidence’ Charge — By Citing ‘Trump Was Right About Everything’ Merch?

 

Former President Donald Trump slapped back at Newsmax host Greg Kelly’s suggestion that he could be “overconfident” by citing the existence of a hat that says “Trump Was Right About Everything!”

Trump was the main subject of Wednesday night’s edition of Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly Reports, as Kelly interviewed the now-presumptive GOP nominee on a variety of topics that included the possibility that he may not be right all of the time.

But Trump pushed back by noting he is the rightest about everything in terms of hat:

GREG KELLY: Two more quick things. I want to respect your time.

In 2016, you did the opposite of what the political professionals would recommend almost every turn, and you won. And that’s amazing. That’s a testament to you.

But is there such a thing as overconfidence? I mean, you’ve been right a lot, but nobody’s right all the time. Is there such a thing as overconfidence? Are you at this point tough to advise or–. I know you got great advisors, but have you, did you learn some negative lessons by being right when they were wrong? And you might think, well, I’m always right. They must always be wrong.

DONALD TRUMP: Well, they do have a hat! And I don’t produce it. Somebody else — “Trump was right about everything!”.

I mean, if you look at all of these many, many things, I’ve been right about everything. I’ve been right about immigration.

GREG KELLY: But the little things, tactics and things like that.

DONALD TRUMP: Look, I listen to a lot of very smart people. I listen to people that aren’t so smart. You find out they’re not smart later on. Look, I’ve had people that are great working for me, but I’ve also had people where it was a mistake having them.

One of the things and I say this, very, very strongly, I believe it very strongly. I came to Washington. I wasn’t like in the Washington establishment, it’s an establishment. I was a New York person, and I didn’t come here much.

I was here, they say, the press says 17 times. I didn’t know people like, normally you would. And I put great people in, but I also put people that I made a mistake with.

I made a mistake with some people I put in. Obviously it wasn’t a grave mistake because we had no wars. I got out of wars, I rebuilt the military, we defeated ISIS, you know, all the different things we did, the lowest taxes ever. We got the biggest tax cuts ever or the biggest regulation cuts ever.

But nevertheless, I now know people. I now know, I believe Washington probably at the upper levels better than anybody. And I think I’m going to have some unbelievable people. And I have unbelievable people that want to be with us.

I have, you know, as per the first part of the interview, tremendous people, some of the most talented people, they want to come into this administration. So we’ll see what happens.

Trump’s campaign actually does produce several “Trump Was Right About Everything!” items — but at the moment no hats.
